Viral Ports, Virtual Currents: Interconnections of Media, the Arts and the Everyday in Southeast Asia and its Diasporas

October 2-4, 2009

University of California, Riverside

Keynote speaker: Rolando Tolentino

Website: http://www.seatrip.ucr.edu

 

            Media use has escalated greatly throughout the world, leading to more extensive and varied visibility of the arts.  Using metaphors of the ocean in cooperation with the viral and the virtual ties popular imaginaries of Southeast Asia with the ability of media to spread and replicate “virally”.  As Jean Burgess uses Henry Jenkins’ argument about the “spreadability” of values within the dynamic relationship between media and cultural production/consumption, “Through reuse, reworking and redistribution, spreadable media content ‘gains greater resonance in the culture, taking on new meanings, finding new audiences, attracting new markets, and generating new values’” (Burgess 2008, 3).  Media outputs then become ports of contact and inspiration for other members of the social network.

 

Topics might include, but are not limited to:

*Reality Bites: Southeast Asian youth culture, viral videos and the influence of transnational television programming.

*Herzfeld’s Arenas of Agency: Sensing the feel and sound of Southeast Asian diasporas.

*“Bebot, Ikaw Ang Aking …” Pop Music Links to Philippine Transnational Ethnic Identities

* Everyday Nationalism in the Arts: Artists joining together in national expression from the ground up.

*Capital Movements: Revitalizing classical Cambodian dance through tourism, globalization, and political policy.

 *Upload/Download: Internet ties and communicating community through cyberspace.

*Screening SEADs: ecological filmic representations of performing Southeast Asian diasporic subjects.

*Scoring High Karma: the Ethics (Video) Game sharing Thai Buddhist morals around the world.

*Indonesian Pop Divas negotiating Islam and Sex for the record.

*The Culture Show Wars: Fighting for community and identity in southern California college Vietnamese culture shows.

*Media fiksi, Mekanis berharap: Nationalism, science fiction, and media imagery in modern Indonesian graphic novels.

*TRANS-itions in Sound, Venus Fly Trap: music video vixens engendering space and feminine bodies for multisensory consumption.
